18297.xyz phishing site impersonates login portals – high risk

Analysis indicates that the domain 18297.xyz is actively serving a phishing site as of July 19, 2026. Infrastructure evidence shows the domain resolves to IP address 103.27.177.163 and is hosted on nameservers a12.share-dns.com and b12.share-dns.net, with registration through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and returns an HTTP 200 status, confirming operational status. Technologies detected include Bootstrap, Nginx, Swiper, Moment.js, and jQuery, which are commonly used in both legitimate and fraudulent web applications.  Sixteen of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, and it appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. While the exact brand or service being impersonated is not yet confirmed through available metadata, the domain is classified as a generic phishing threat targeting login credentials or personal information. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking at the DNS or network level. Further analysis of page content and payload delivery mechanisms is recommended to determine the precise phishing kit or campaign affiliation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      21dbb82df5ebd86c78f5402e8216dc6fc91cef4ee6ee80e2d5d250237a56504d

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
